This week’s show was originally recorded in 2008 at the historic Chautauqua Auditorium, as part of that facility’s 110th anniversary celebration. For this remarkable event, Joan Baez joins eTown to mark what was at the time of the original airing her 50th anniversary year of performing. The top-notch ensemble of John Doyle, Dirk Powell and Todd Phillips are with her. And eTown favorite Brett Dennen joins us as well this week. Nick & Helen and the rest of the eTones back him up on some well-crafted original songs. Plus, James Howard Kunstler (noted columnist and author of The Long Emergency and World Made By Hand) stops by to talk with Nick about what he sees as the pending global oil shortage crisis. In this special ‘back by popular demand’ program, eTown presents a Lifetime E-Chievement Award to Joan Baez, for her continued work as an environmental and social activist. It’s a show packed with greet music and thought-provoking conversation.
